CHRISTOPHER DINCUFF: He Knew How to Share

 

ChristopherWhat his friends and family will tell you about Christopher Dincuff, who would have been 32 today, an assistant trader for Carr Futures, is that he was always smiling.

"He always made people feel welcome," said his mother, Joan. "I never had to teach him how to share." He became the center of a large circle of friends, some of whom had known him since childhood in South River, N.J. All of them learned that if the Villanova Wildcats were playing basketball, he had to hear or see the game.

"He has driven his car to remote places just to get the Villanova game on the radio," said Garth Smalley, his best friend. Mr. Dincuff's father, Jim, a Seton Hall graduate, accompanied him to Seton Hall-Villanova games.

Mr. Dincuff's proposal to his fiancee, Angie Gutermuth, last February encompassed several passions at once. As Ms. Gutermuth opened the door to her apartment, exhausted after business-school exams, she discovered a trail of rose petals, illuminated by candles, that led to Mr. Dincuff, dozens of helium balloons arrayed around him. There was champagne, and music, and a ring he had designed himself. He arranged for her to have a manicure the next day, at the same time there was a Villanova game on TV.
